1. Help kids to express themselves
Kids can give free reign to their feelings and express themselves in highly original ways. By encouraging them to use craft toys and carry out activities, we can get an insight in what the child feels, what they think and how they think. For imagination, the sky’s the limit and kids show that this is true when they come up with very innovative and creative ways of expressing themselves.Craft toys help children pour out their emotions in different ways for all of them are little artists inside. You see a side of them that’s not visible otherwise and channelizing these skills is great for the kid and a joy for the parents.Strange as it may sound, craft toys inculcate a pattern of thinking that can help kids in many other ways- in their schoolwork, in tackling and understanding concepts better. Craft toys can bring out the best in kids and we at Camtec lay a great emphasis on nurturing this through play.
2. Improve motor skills
All activities that are associated with play go a long way into developing motor skills and improving eye and hand co-ordination. While playing with craft toys, kids have to take apart, stick together, combine pieces to get the right shape, cut, make patterns and so on and so forth. Every single movement that they make paves the way for developing those skills. We at Camtec encourage them through specially crafted toys that make their little minds and hands work in unison. This sets the stage for accomplishing daily activities on their own.
3. Kids become more confident
Enjoying what they do and doing what they enjoy helps kids to become better at a craft. A new creation brings with it a new emotion- a feeling of achievement and accomplishment, a feeling of pride that rekindles their interest in using craft toys optimally. The positive feeling of enjoyment and the fact that kids feel good when they complete something forms the stepping stone to building confidence levels. A confident child is a happy child and a happy child creates happiness all around. Playing with craft toys is much more far reaching than that which appears on the surface.
4. Inculcates discipline and team spirit
Drawing and painting are activities that makes kids fly along with their imagination, but craft toys teach them to be disciplined in their approach. If they don’t follow the steps they can’t bring the activity to a final conclusion. So these necessarily bring order to their little minds and make them follow the instructions in the right order to complete what they are doing. Learning to do things the right way are important and invaluable real life lessons. By working with other kids, children learn to work together at something and that’s the beginning of ‘team spirit.’

Craft toys are great entertainment- in fact, the fun never ends for kids.Our goal at Camtec is to ensure that kids remain kids and are happy being so.
